[ooc: Looks more or less, like this, but a little thicker and textured like an F1 grenade towards the rear.]
The MTsG-7[Mnogotselevoi Granata-7, or Multipurpose Grenade] is a 115mm dual purpose round developed for the RPG-7 anti-tank system. It features penetration of 550mm RHA with lethal fragmentation in a 20m radius.
The munition was designed as a quick fix to an issue that commonly affects soldiers in an urban conflict. Often soldiers are tasked with fighting against an enemy who employs both armor and infantry, and there are few man portable weapons that on their own are effective against each equally. In the event that a soldier has an antipersonnel round loaded in their weapon, and an enemy IFV should appear, they would either have to disengage completely, or swap the currently loaded missile. Because the current mission may dictate what munitions are to be issued, the MTsG-7 is designed to simplify logistics and give a soldier a means of engaging all targets he is tasked with.
During it's initial development in the early 1990's, the project was shelved due to the introduction of the OG-7V munition. It wasn't until the border conflicts between 2010-2011 that it was given a second look. In those conflicts, SRChP Border Guard troops faced both light armored vehicles and massed infantry. Shortly afterwards, they were put it limited service with Internal Affairs troops operating inside Kolgujevska, along with some Army units. There they proved to be an effective weapon against enemy combatants, especially since they could kill an enemy IFV, along with most of the dismounted infantry.
Because the MTsG-7 is relatively heavy[4.5kg, roughly the same as the PG-7VR or TBG-7], it has a shorter range, but isn't as affected by wind as severely. Ballistics-wise, it's close to the PG-7VR or TBG-7V.
Information:
Weight: 4.5kg
Length: Same as PG-7VL
Diameter: 115m
Armor penetration: 550-620mm RHA
[B]Effective Range: 200m
Export cost: 2,000USD per crate of 10, includes boost charge
